Serge Chaloff (November 24, 1923 – July 16, 1957)[1] was an American jazz baritone saxophonist. One of bebop's earliest baritone saxophonists,[2] Chaloff has been described as 'the most expressive and openly emotive baritone saxophonist jazz has ever witnessed' with a tone varying 'between a light but almost inaudible whisper to a great sonorous shout with the widest but most incredibly moving of vibratos.'[3]
